In this Feb. 23, 2016 photo, a resident carries drinking water following an overnight fire at a poor neighborhood in Muntinlupa city southeast of Manila, Philippines. Water was not supposed to become so expensive for Manila under a 1997 World Bank deal that privatized the seaside city’s water and sewage management. That arrangement is under fire by the U.S. congressional committee that oversees the international development bank, which is now questioning whether the World Bank and its lending arm, the International Finance Corp., should join in such "public-private partnerships."
